1On the first day of the sixth month of King Darius' second year, the LORD spoke this message through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak: 1בִּשְׁנַ֤ת שְׁתַּ֙יִם֙ לְדָרְיָ֣וֶשׁ הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ בַּחֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ הַשִּׁשִּׁ֔י בְּי֥וֹם אֶחָ֖ד לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ הָיָ֨ה דְבַר־ יְהוָ֜ה בְּיַד־ חַגַּ֣י הַנָּבִ֗יא אֶל־ זְרֻבָּבֶ֤ל בֶּן־ שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל֙ פַּחַ֣ת יְהוּדָ֔ה וְאֶל־ יְהוֹשֻׁ֧עַ בֶּן־ יְהוֹצָדָ֛ק הַכֹּהֵ֥ן הַגָּד֖וֹל לֵאמֹֽר׃
2The LORD who rules over all says this: "These people have said, 'The time for rebuilding the LORD's temple has not yet come.'"2כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֛ר יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת לֵאמֹ֑ר הָעָ֤ם הַזֶּה֙ אָֽמְר֔וּ לֹ֥א עֶת־ בֹּ֛א עֶת־ בֵּ֥ית יְהוָ֖ה לְהִבָּנֽוֹת׃ פ
3So the LORD spoke through the prophet Haggai as follows:3וַֽיְהִי֙ דְּבַר־ יְהוָ֔ה בְּיַד־ חַגַּ֥י הַנָּבִ֖יא לֵאמֹֽר׃
4"Is it right for you to live in richly paneled houses while my temple is in ruins?4הַעֵ֤ת לָכֶם֙ אַתֶּ֔ם לָשֶׁ֖בֶת בְּבָתֵּיכֶ֣ם סְפוּנִ֑ים וְהַבַּ֥יִת הַזֶּ֖ה חָרֵֽב׃
5Here then is what the LORD who rules over all says: 'Think carefully about what you are doing.5וְעַתָּ֕ה כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת שִׂ֥ימוּ לְבַבְכֶ֖ם עַל־ דַּרְכֵיכֶֽם׃
6You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but are never filled. You drink, but are still thirsty. You put on clothes, but are not warm. Those who earn wages end up with holes in their money bags.'" 6זְרַעְתֶּ֨ם הַרְבֵּ֜ה וְהָבֵ֣א מְעָ֗ט אָכ֤וֹל וְאֵין־ לְשָׂבְעָה֙ שָׁת֣וֹ וְאֵין־ לְשָׁכְרָ֔ה לָב֖וֹשׁ וְאֵין־ לְחֹ֣ם ל֑וֹ וְהַ֨מִּשְׂתַּכֵּ֔ר מִשְׂתַּכֵּ֖ר אֶל־ צְר֥וֹר נָקֽוּב׃ פ
7"Moreover, the LORD who rules over all says: 'Pay close attention to these things also.7כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת שִׂ֥ימוּ לְבַבְכֶ֖ם עַל־ דַּרְכֵיכֶֽם׃
8Go up to the hill country and bring back timber to build the temple. Then I will be pleased and honored,' says the LORD.8עֲל֥וּ הָהָ֛ר וַהֲבֵאתֶ֥ם עֵ֖ץ וּבְנ֣וּ הַבָּ֑יִת וְאֶרְצֶה־ בּ֥וֹ [ואכבד] (וְאֶכָּבְדָ֖ה) אָמַ֥ר יְהוָֽה׃
9You expected a large harvest, but instead there was little, and when you brought it home it disappeared right away. Why?' asks the LORD who rules over all. 'Because my temple remains in ruins, thanks to each of you favoring his own house!9פָּנֹ֤ה אֶל־ הַרְבֵּה֙ וְהִנֵּ֣ה לִמְעָ֔ט וַהֲבֵאתֶ֥ם הַבַּ֖יִת וְנָפַ֣חְתִּי ב֑וֹ יַ֣עַן מֶ֗ה נְאֻם֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת יַ֗עַן בֵּיתִי֙ אֲשֶׁר־ ה֣וּא חָרֵ֔ב וְאַתֶּ֥ם רָצִ֖ים אִ֥ישׁ לְבֵיתֽוֹ׃
10This is why the sky has held back its dew and the earth its produce.10עַל־ כֵּ֣ן עֲלֵיכֶ֔ם כָּלְא֥וּ שָמַ֖יִם‪‬‪‬‪‬ מִטָּ֑ל וְהָאָ֖רֶץ כָּלְאָ֥ה יְבוּלָֽהּ׃
11Moreover, I have called for a drought that will affect the fields, the hill country, the grain, new wine, fresh olive oil, and everything that grows from the ground; it also will harm people, animals, and everything they produce.'" 11וָאֶקְרָ֨א חֹ֜רֶב עַל־ הָאָ֣רֶץ וְעַל־ הֶהָרִ֗ים וְעַל־ הַדָּגָן֙ וְעַל־ הַתִּיר֣וֹשׁ וְעַל־ הַיִּצְהָ֔ר וְעַ֛ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר תּוֹצִ֖יא הָאֲדָמָ֑ה וְעַל־ הָֽאָדָם֙ וְעַל־ הַבְּהֵמָ֔ה וְעַ֖ל כָּל־ יְגִ֥יעַ כַּפָּֽיִם׃ ס
12Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, along with the whole remnant of the people, obeyed the LORD their God. They responded favorably to the message of the prophet Haggai, who spoke just as the LORD their God had instructed him, and the people began to respect the LORD.12וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע זְרֻבָּבֶ֣ל ׀ בֶּֽן־ שַׁלְתִּיאֵ֡ל וִיהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ בֶּן־ יְהוֹצָדָק֩ הַכֹּהֵ֨ן הַגָּד֜וֹל וְכֹ֣ל ׀ שְׁאֵרִ֣ית הָעָ֗ם בְּקוֹל֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֔ם וְעַל־ דִּבְרֵי֙ חַגַּ֣י הַנָּבִ֔יא כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר שְׁלָח֖וֹ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּֽירְא֥וּ הָעָ֖ם מִפְּנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
13Then Haggai, the LORD's messenger, spoke the LORD's word to the people: "I am with you!" says the LORD.13וַ֠יֹּאמֶר חַגַּ֞י מַלְאַ֧ךְ יְהוָ֛ה בְּמַלְאֲכ֥וּת יְהוָ֖ה לָעָ֣ם לֵאמֹ֑ר אֲנִ֥י אִתְּכֶ֖ם נְאֻם־ יְהוָֽה׃
14So the LORD energized and encouraged Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, and the whole remnant of the people. They came and worked on the temple of their God, the LORD who rules over all.14וַיָּ֣עַר יְהוָ֡ה אֶת־ רוּחַ֩ זְרֻבָּבֶ֨ל בֶּן־ שַׁלְתִּיאֵ֜ל פַּחַ֣ת יְהוּדָ֗ה וְאֶת־ ר֙וּחַ֙ יְהוֹשֻׁ֤עַ בֶּן־ יְהוֹצָדָק֙ הַכֹּהֵ֣ן הַגָּד֔וֹל וְֽאֶת־ ר֔וּחַ כֹּ֖ל שְׁאֵרִ֣ית הָעָ֑ם וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ וַיַּעֲשׂ֣וּ מְלָאכָ֔ה בְּבֵית־ יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃ פ
15This took place on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month of King Darius' second year. 15בְּי֨וֹם עֶשְׂרִ֧ים וְאַרְבָּעָ֛ה לַחֹ֖דֶשׁ בַּשִּׁשִּׁ֑י בִּשְׁנַ֥ת שְׁתַּ֖יִם לְדָרְיָ֥וֶשׁ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
